During Canadian Winters, many seasonal huts become unused or used for a different purpose. Here are a garden shed, a hunter hut, a mini caravan and a privy toiiet for field workers that become useless during many months. I also included an old caravan that becomes an ice-fishing trailer in winter. With this series, I decided to emphasize the feelings of isolation, cold and tininess of a variety of huts with different purposes. All photographs were taken during Winter 2020, that is during the COVID-10 pandemic period, and were meant as a way to represent the feeling of confinement.
